Summary:
Regional School Unit 75/Maine School Admin District 75 contains one public high school, Mt Ararat High School, which serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 748 students. While the school is ranked within the top half of Maine high schools, its performance metrics are generally average or slightly below average compared to regional and state-level data.
Mt Ararat High School's ranking has declined slightly over the past few years, going from 67th out of 121 schools in 2023-2024 to 69th out of 123 schools in 2022-2023. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 87.8% is slightly below the state average, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 23.4% is higher than the state average. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (53.49%), Mathematics (53.07%), and Science (40.68%) are all below the regional and state averages, and have remained relatively consistent over the past two school years.
Despite these challenges, the school has a student-teacher ratio of 12:1, which is slightly better than the state average. Additionally, only 18.72% of Mt Ararat High School students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which is lower than the regional and state averages. Overall, while Mt Ararat High School is a reasonably performing school within the district, it does not appear to be a standout performer in the state, and there may be opportunities for improvement in areas such as academic achievement and attendance.
